"Game of Thrones" is no stranger to unconventional romantic pairings *cough* Cersei and Jaime Lannister *cough* but there's one that might be the most boundary-pushing yet.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on the "Game of Thrones" set, Sophie Turner, whose character Sansa Stark has suffered at the hands of many men over the course of the series, suggested that Sansa's ideal romance should be with a woman.
“In the 'GoT' universe, I think she's going to have to swing the other way – because the men thing isn't working for her,” she said. “Judging by Sansa's relationship with Margaery … probably Margaery.”
Although a Margaery and Sansa romance might make fans' heads explode, tying sexual experimentation to being done with the "men thing" is a slippery slope. And yet, Turner doubled down on supporting Sansa's lesbian curiosities by offering a more troubling potential relationship between her character and Arya, Sansa's younger sister.
“Or [Sansa could hook up with] Arya – because I'd like to see that happen,” Turner continued. “I'd love a love scene between Arya and Sansa.”
Um, what?
